印度房东：“29了还单身？对不住，你不能租我公寓”
· You are Christian? And you live alone? You must be wearing short skirts and eating non-veg? I suppose that is your culture. But please don't bring boys to the house. And no drinking here. · Sorry, we don't let out houses to people from the North-east. Because we only want Indian nationals, and you people look . Of course, this does not mean we want to give up Arunachal Pradesh.
你是基督徒吧? 而且你单独居住？你一定穿短裙、不吃素？我猜这是你们的文化。但别带男人到这屋子来。这儿也不准喝酒。对不起，我们房子不租给东北（诸邦）人。因为我们只租给印度人，而你看起来象。当然啦，这並不意味着我们要放弃阿邦（藏南）。
· African? Are you crazy? With all these Nigerian drug-peddlers in the the country? What do you mean you're not Nigerian? You're from Africa, right?
非洲人？你疯啦？有这么多尼日利亚小毒贩在这国家？你不是尼日利亚人，你什么意思？你是非洲人，对吗？
· You are 29 and still single? Why? What d'you mean you couldn't find anyone? Now there is no hope for you. And no, you cannot rent a flat here. What d'you mean people are not born married?
你29了还光棍？怎么会这样？什么意思你说讨不到人？现在你没指望了。不行，你不能在这儿租房。什么意思你说人不是生来就结婚的？
· You work in the television industry? [can be interchanged with media/design/advertising]. And want to rent my house? Absolutely not.
你干电视一行？（可与媒体、策划、广告通用）。还想租我屋子？绝对不行。
· What a nice young British boy. Of course we'll rent you the flat. But we just want to warn you, that this is a family society so please don't bring ladies into the house. Oh I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you. No I'm not saying you are like that, but you know sometimes the culture is different. But I have no problem with British people. In fact my son is your age, and he loves British music. The whole day he keeps listening to British bands. I call him "angrez ki aulad." Of course, I am only joking about that. He is very proud of the Indian culture and the motherland.
多好的一个英国小伙。我们当然会把房子租给你。可我们就想提醒你，这一片都有家有小，请别带女人到这屋子来。啊，对不住，对不住我不是冒犯你的意思。不，我没说你象那样，可你知道有时候文化不同。可我跟英国人没什么过不去。实际上我儿子也你这年纪，他还喜欢英国音乐。他整天就听英国乐队。我叫他'英国小子'。当然啦，我只是开玩笑。他很为印度文化和祖国自豪。
· You are Muslim and Kashmiri? Why are you looking for houses in India?
你是MSL还是克什米尔人？为什么你在印度找房子？
· We are OK with foreigners as long as they are not Africans or . Middle-aged Americans are fine with us. What's your name? David Coleman Headley? Not a problem.
我们跟外国人没什么，只要不是非洲人，也不是。中年美国人跟我们待一块没事。你啥名字，大卫.科尔曼.海德莱？没问题。

You are bachelors! You won't keep the house clean. Get lost.
你们都是单身汉！你们不会保持屋子整洁的。滚远点。

So funny and immature article by the author.First of all it's a landlord's right to choose his tenant and we don't have right to criticize him.Then, there are always landlords available who have no problem renting the house to Nigerians, northeast people , Muslims, Christians or the single.There are even landlords who rent their houses to live in partners.I don't understand what is the problem with the author.If there are some concerns about letting out to Nigerians then it is not unwarranted.Because there are in fact large number of people from hat country peddling drugs in India and also doing online bank frauds.And our police and govt can't do anything about it even though everyone of us receives such lottery win Smses and emails very frequently.
作者文章好笑幼稚。首先，挑选房客是房东的权利，我们没有权利批评他们。再者，把房子租给尼日利亚人、东北各邦的人、MSL、基督徒或者单身汉，总会有房东坦然对之。甚至还有跟租客
合住的房东。我不知道作者是什么毛病。如果把房子租给尼日利亚人让人耽心，也不是没有道理。因为有大量来自那个国家的人在印度贩毒，还做网上银行欺诈。而我们的警察、政府拿这没一点办法，尽管我们每个人常常收到这种乐透大奖的短讯或电邮。

it depends on the owner of the house to whom he wants to rent a house. you can not forcefully do that.
要看房子的主人愿意租给谁。不能强迫。

It looks we have a long way to go. In 50 and 60s this used to be a problem in United Kingdom. But then the law was made which eased discrimination . The way forward is only a strict law that stops discrimination.
看来我们还有很远的路要走。50～60年代这曾是英国的问题。但后来立法缓解了歧视。向前的道路只有制止歧视的严厉法律。

Oh you are an outsider, no our neighbours want same language speaking tenants so they can gossip with them
啊，你是个外人，不行，我们邻居要跟他们说同样语言的房客，这样才能跟他们一起闲聊
